The Importance of Eye Examinations
An eye examination is a crucial part of preventative care and can detect health concerns such as glaucoma. Eye exams assess your visual health and check for any issues with various parts of the eye, such as the lens or retina. During an exam, we discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing, along with medication usage, your daily activities, and how they impact your vision. Additionally, family health history is considered, as some eye conditions are hereditary. This information helps us tailor treatment to your specific needs.
Vision Testing
Having an eye doctor test your vision ensures that you're seeing things as clearly and sharply as possible. Vision testing utilizes traditional wall charts and reading charts to measure the sharpness of your vision in each eye. These tests provide a measure of vision accuracy, with 20/20 being the standard for near and far vision. This assessment can detect whether you need glasses to correct common vision issues such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, as well as other care needs such as eye exercises.
Eye Function Testing
In addition to regular vision testing, we also assess eye functionality. These tests evaluate your depth perception, eye muscle capacity, color perception, peripheral vision, and how your eyes respond to light. This helps assess your overall vision capacity and ensure that your eyes are focusing and moving correctly. Eye function testing can detect underlying eye conditions and guide any necessary care.
